Probation and Termination Policy

Probation is designed to correct student behavior and deficiencies. Probation and other corrective remedies are designed for the improvement of the individual student, and for the betterment of the student body at large. It is the responsibility of the school to identify deficiencies and take measure to correct such, to provide the student with the best opportunity to enhance their skills and achieve their career goals. A student may be placed on probation for academic failure or poor attendance. See "Progress Assessment" for probation resulting from academic failure. See "Attendance Policy" for probation resulting from poor attendance.

A student shall be placed on a two-week probation for academic or attendance deficiencies. The notice of probation shall be in writing, and will specify both the problem(s), and the expected corrective measure(s). Failure to meet academic requirements or have a subsequent unexcused absence during the probation period shall lead to suspension. A student who has been suspended will be allowed to return to the next available class.

At the discretion of the administration, a student may be placed on a two-week probation or dismissed, and their enrollment terminated, for breaking the school's published Rules of Conduct, including but not limited to, being under the influence, consuming, selling, or possession of drugs or alcohol on school premises, possession of a weapon on school premises; behavior creating a safety hazard to others on school premises; disobedient or disrespectful behavior to another student, administrator, or faculty member; any violation of local, state, or federal law; or, for failure to meet financial obligations.

Once suspended, a student will have no more than one year to return to the school, and meet the school's standards to successfully complete their course or program. Students who fail to do so, will be dismissed and their enrollments terminated. If a student is terminated from a Course or Program, a pro rata refund will be calculated in accordance with the school's published refund policy.
